Chinese documents open as jibberish

Aug 12, 2010 1:38PM PDT

I have a few Word documents written in a Chinese computer with a Chinese OS, that I transfered to my computer. They open as jibberish.

I have Office '97 (I know, very old but it still serves my purposes).

I have Chinese language installed in my language bar. What do I need to do?

Thanks!

Today we would need the same office the docs were made on and "we're done."

(NT) And maybe we would need the original fonts also.
